WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
Walt Disney

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is visually pleasing, with colors that are rich and warm, and are well balanced with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Though images can appear slightly soft at times, detail is nicely rendered. There is some minor edge enhancement and occasional pixelization, but overall the picture should be satisfying. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby

Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
